PLEASE HELP! In recent days, many of our neighbors in Kentucky have experienced catastrophic flooding as a series of winter storms has battered the state. Many have been affected, including relatives of Old Friends staff, who have lost their homes, businesses and livelihoods. As always, when we have friends in need, Old Friends is moved to help. And, as always, SILVER CHARM has stepped up to offer one of his halters for fundraising in an eBay auction.

100% of the proceeds from this auction will be donated to the Eastern Kentucky Dream Center, which provides emergency services to one of the hardest hit regions - Pike County, Kentucky.

This genuine halter has been worn by Silver Charm through the worst of our winter weather. It comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, and an 8x10 photo of our oldest living Kentucky Derby winner. We ask our friends, supporters, and lovers of Silver Charm to bid generously. And, if you are able, we encourage you to give to your favorite charity in support of flood relief.

UPDATE ON SUMMER SHOWS AT SPARR SCHOOLING SHOWS (JUNE, JULY, AND AUGUST.)

All shows will follow a “clinic feel” in a “show atmosphere” focusing on a specific discipline. No show tack, braids/bands or bling required, wear a comfy polo shirt, western shirt, or appropriate horsie T-shirt. Saddle up for a fund summer show series focused on “off season” growth and development. Boots and hat/helmets are required. All shows begin early, PROMPTLY, at 8am and will end approximately by noon to avoid the summer heat. There will be a daily high point and the points from these classes will count for year end buckle high point. Should you have any questions, please pm us and we will get back with you asap. Looking forward to a new way of learning and showing all in one place.

Details regarding each show/clinic will follow shortly.
